Why Zendesk Added New First Reply Time Metrics
Why did Zendesk introduce new metrics for first reply time?
Zendesk introduced new metrics to enhance the customer experience by ensuring timely responses. These metrics help workforce managers identify and address issues like insufficient staffing and low-performing agents, which can lead to delays in first reply time and resolution time.
By using metrics such as First offer time, First offer to assignment, % Acceptance rate, and Handle time, managers can pinpoint problems like agents not picking up work promptly or handling too many conversations. This allows for better resource allocation and improved service quality.
